Slide 1: Maine Central's EMD GP40 #312 pulls a freight train through Ocean Park, Maine, with two other, unidentified locomotives in the summer of 1996. Note the blue paint. This locomotive was originally owned by Penn Central and then Conrail before Guilford picked it up. It's still in service, but it has since been repainted, and is now Guilford black/grey with an orange stripe and a big "G."

That green thing all the way to right is one of Maine Central's Russell snow plows, #77 to be exact, and I think it might still be around. Slides 3-6: Maine Central's GP40 #350 and Boston and Maine's GP40 #340 pull a freight train across Temple Ave in Ocean Park, Maine, in the summer of 1994. Note the lack of crossing gates: those wouldn't appear until the early '00s when Amtrak began running dummy Downeasters back and forth from Portland to Boston. Slide 7: Boston and Maine's GP40 #339 pulls a freight train through Old Orchard Beach, Maine, in the summer of 1996 with two other, unidentified locomotives. Slide 8: Springfield Terminal's EMD SD26 #620 and GP35 #202 pull a freight train through Saco, Maine, in the summer of 1995 with at least one other, unidentified locomotive. The SD26 ...
